Each Spring FAURJ accepts manuscript submissions for the newest volume. Submissions for the 2018-2019 journal will close May 22, 2018. The newest volume of the FAURJ is published each year in March prior to the annual Undergraduate Research Symposium.

Submission Guidelines

EligibilityTo be eligible for publication, research must be done by an undergraduate student or students at FAU, under the mentorship of an FAU faculty member. Two or more FAU undergraduate students may co-author a single manuscript submission.

Note: All value ranges for the Author Biography, Abstract, Manuscript and Works Cited are not suggested maximums. To ensure that we can print your entire research project we have limited the word count. Please edit your documents accordingly.

*FAURJ reserves the right to reject manuscripts not submitted in the above-mentioned formats by the established submission deadline.

Review Process

All written manuscripts will be submitted through Turn-it-in as part of the peer-review process. Each manuscript will be reviewed anonymously by at least one qualified graduate student peer-reviewer and one faculty reviewer. After each manuscript is reviewed, the author(s) will receive email confirmation of whether the manuscript was accepted. Accepted manuscripts will be returned to the author(s) with comments/edits via track changes. The author(s) will be expected to make revisions in a timely manner and return the revised manuscript to FAURJ editors for layout design. This is a lengthy process, prompt email correspondence an patience is greatly appreciated.

Writing Guidelines

Although manuscript formats vary by discipline, the following links may aid students in writing papers for publication in the FAURJ at FAU or elsewhere. Please consult with your faculty adviser for guidance.
